Implementation Reference
- src/airflow/dag.py:167-169 (handler)The primary handler function implementing the 'delete_dag' tool. It calls the Airflow DAG API to delete the DAG specified by dag_id and returns the API response as MCP TextContent.
async def delete_dag(dag_id: str) -> List[Union[types.TextContent, types.ImageContent, types.EmbeddedResource]]: response = dag_api.delete_dag(dag_id=dag_id) return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(response.to_dict()))] - src/airflow/dag.py:15-33 (registration)Module-level registration function that includes the 'delete_dag' tool in the list of DAG-related functions, which are later imported and registered in main.py via app.add_tool.
